Singapore - Gold edged up on Monday, but remained near a three-month low as the dollar hit an 11-year high after a strong US jobs report boosted expectations the Federal Reserve would soon hike interest rates.
Spot gold rose slightly to $1 169.80 an ounce by 03:23 GMT, retaining most Friday's near 3% drop. It reached its weakest since December 1 of $1 163.45 in the previous session, when data showed US jobless rate fell to the lowest since May 2008.
US nonfarm payrolls increased 295 000 last month after rising 239 000 in January.
